OH MY GOODNESS...well, that's not really what I said when I tried Lara Kay's/Libby's berry shortbread cookies, but this is a family blog and I didn't want to offend anyone. Just know that naughty words came out of my mouth (no kiddie ears were around!) when I tried them for the first time...they are THAT good!!
When my mom used to eat something that she really liked, she would say, "that'll make you slap your momma!!" WOO-HOO...I bet my momma felt that one all the way in heaven!! (On a side note: I loved how my mom and I gave each other high fives...we always missed on purpose, threw our heads back and then let out a simultaneous nerdy cackle laugh!!)
The recipe is definitely worth sharing - and tell your momma she better WATCH OUT!!
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 cups all purpose flour
seedless raspberry jam
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 tsp water
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in extract, gradually add flour until dough forms a big ball. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until the dough is easy to handle.
Roll into 1 in. balls. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Using a small spoon or the end of a wooden spoon, make an indentation in the center. Fill with jam.
Bake at 350 for 14-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to cool. Spoon additional jam into cookies if desired. Combine glaze ingredients, drizzle over cookies. Makes 3 dozen.
I really wanted to add a picture...but I ate them all - OOPSIE!! Maybe next time.
